Özet

Objective: To determine whether the association between prolonged patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) exposure and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) differs according to the duration of invasive respiratory support in very preterm infants. Study design: This secondary analysis of the multicenter, prospective INTERPDA cohort included infants born at <29 weeks’ gestation with moderate-to-large PDA requiring respiratory support. Infants were stratified according to PDA exposure duration ( < 14 and ≥14 days) and cumulative invasive respiratory support duration ( < 10 and ≥10 days). Results: Among 363 infants, prolonged PDA exposure was associated with higher rates of moderate/severe BPD, BPD or death, and mortality only in infants requiring ≥10 days of respiratory support. In adjusted analyses, prolonged PDA exposure remained independently associated with these adverse outcomes. Conclusion: Prolonged PDA exposure was associated with adverse pulmonary outcomes primarily in infants with prolonged respiratory dependence, supporting an individualized, physiology-based approach to PDA management in very preterm infants.
